SHAKING THEM UP.
How the clerks in tho District Omoea
Felt Yesterday.

Eeit
The commissioners yesterday issued the
following order, and a few minutes later
paralysis seemed to have struck nearly
every clerk and employee:
The heads OF departments, divisions, aud
bureaus OF the District service are ordered
to prepare on or before Aug. l the follow
ing:
/. A schedule OF the personnel OF each
department, division, and bureau, giving
the names, designation, duties, pay, and
status Of all employees, whether perm iucnt
or temporary, detailed or assigned, with
statement Of where and how employed, and
the appropriation from which paid.
2. Recommendations with regard to the
current methods Of transacting put lie busi
ness, stating in what respect the present
system is defective, and suggesting such
notifications thereof as shall improve It's
efficiency and render 1t more direct and
economical
B. Recommendations as to the number Of
employees absolutely necessary In each Of
flee, reporting what additions are needful,
II any, and what employees can be dispensed
with.
4, Specific recommendations as to the
qualifications, conduct, aud efficiency OF in-
dividual employees. The commissioners de-
sire TO eliminate from the service all per-
sons whose services are not absolutely nee
essary, or who, by reason of personal char
acteristics Of any kind, physical, mental,
or moral, fail to discharge With entire salts.
factoriness the duties allotted to them. The
commissioners expect that the recommen-
dations Of the heads OF departments, dlvl-
slons, and bureaus will be thoroughly CON
sldered solely in the public interest, ire
spective OF all personal considerations of
whatever nature, and in this connection a
schedule will he submitted making com

TIE AMENDED REGULATIONS.
Changes Which the Commissioners
Deemed Necessary and Proper.

changes Which the Commissioners
Deemed Necessary and Proper.
The District commissioners have made re-
visions in the police regulations as follows:
Sec. l, Art. VI, is changed by dispensing
with the necessity of a permit to drive cat.
tie through the streets, and by removing
the limitation as to the number of sheep or
sn Inc that may be driven In one herd. The
effect Is to leave the driving OF sheep or
swine unrestricted, except as to the streets
upon which they may be driven. The
streets are named In section A. of the arti-
Gle as originally adopted. The hours Of
driving are changed from between "mid-
night and 6 O'Clock a. m" to between "1O
O'Clock p. N. and q o'clock q. M
Sec. 4, Art. VIII, is changed by ex-
tending the time for which goods, &C., may
remain upon the streets from "thirty min
utes" to "one hour"
Sec. 1, Art TX, is changed by limiting
the use OF bells on street cars to the con-
ductors starting gong, the effect being to
prohibit the use Of bells on the horses of
either street cars or the omnibus herdics.
This section is further changed by dispens-
ing with the necessity OF sounding bell or
gong on bicycles or tricycles "when in mo-
tion after sundown."
Sec. 3, Art. X, is changed by removing
the necessity OF having such q bell or gong
on bicycle or tricycle. "as to be sounded
by the revolution OF wheel or Wheels"
and by leaving the sounding Of the bell or
gong to the judgment OF the riders ''to
warn persons Of their approach" The re-
quirement that bicycles and trlcycles shall
carry lights at night remains.
AS to bicycles and tricycles, the effect Of
the changes is that they must have lights
mot necessarily q "bull's eye" or other re-
fecting light) at nigat, and must also have
bell or gongs that may readily be sounded
TO ~@rn persons. of their approach. The
giving warning is left to the Judgment OF
the rider, which judgment he must exercise
at his own risk.
Sec. s, Art. Y, is charged by exempt
ing "drays, dump carts, hay wagons,
trucks, and similar slow.moving freight
vehicles" from the necessity Of carryi & a
light at night; by dispensing with the
necessity Of lamps on vehicles that may
be seen from the rear as well as from the
front and sides, and by making the provls-
ions of the section clearer In meaning by
requiring only that the lights on vehicles
shall be such 'as to be visible from the
front and both sides thereof" This obvi-
ates the necessity of changing existing car
riage lamps, and also leaves the lights of
the herdic cabs as at present.

small man magnifed by transient
popular desire TO cheat and National

enough latent opposition to destroy
him when the Federal patronage was
no longer at his disposal, and he had
the humiliation of leaving in the
Senate lieutenant who had acquired
the belief that ne was a bigger man

sweeps Riddleberger away, and ends
the flood. Virginia rises out of
